Small Group Questions

1. Where do you most feel “fear pressure” in your life right now — pressure to fit in, stay quiet, or compromise your convictions?

2. Daniel was determined before the pressure came. What are some practical ways we can decide ahead of time how we want to respond when our faith is tested?

3. The sermon reminds us that God’s faithfulness often shows up in formation before deliverance. Can you share a time when God was shaping you in a difficult season rather than immediately removing the difficulty?

4. How can our obedience and faithfulness quietly put God on display in our workplaces, families, or communities this week?

5. What is one small, practical step you can take this week to stand firm in faith rather than simply going with the flow?
